You don't have to be in ketosis to lose. Have you tried more exercise?
Maybe you just need to bump your activity a bit to lose what you'd
like.

Amy,

I have found that the longer I low carb the less impact any changes in my
carb intake make in my weight loss or maintenance.

Low carbing keeps me from getting hungry, which makes calorie restriction
easier, but I have learned through very careful logging of all food and
exercise over the period of a year that very low carbs and high calories
will cause me to gain weight, while cutting calories will--extremely
slowly--lead to weight loss.

The body seems to learn new metabolic habits after a significant period of
low carbing so you don't get the dramatic "beginners' luck" phenomenon any
more.

However, if you cut your carbs low enough to avoid blood sugar swings and
lower the calories you will lose weight when you create that depressingly
boring "caloric deficit" between what you burn and what you take in.

Unfortunately, also, the closer you are to your goal weight and the older
you are, the slower that weight loss can be. My 55 year old body is below
the level it thinks it should be and it can maintain very happily at 1350
calories now, which makes knocking off the odd pound that comes on at the
holidays extremely hard.

you don't need to be in ketosis to lose weight.

I always have to work really hard to get into ketosis.  The things
that I have to avoid are sugar alcohols, malitol(which is the stuff
they use to make LC candy bars and stuff)and diet sodas.  Usually if
I'm having trouble I drop all of these things off my routine for a
week or two and it allows me to get into ketosis.  For some reason
Splenda is the only sweetner that doesn't affect me badly when I'm in
ketosis.  Also adding an extra exercise routine to your day, just 15
mins or so(or one at all if you don't exercise) for a week or two can
really help jump start your weight loss if you're stuck on a plateau.
These are the things I've found that usually help me, I hope they help
you too.
